i get out of bed at half past ten phone up a friend, who’s a party animal turn on the news and drink some tea maybe if you’re with me we’ll do some shopping

one day i’ll read, or learn to drive a car if you p*ss the test, you can beat the rest but i don’t like to compete, or talk street, street, street i can pick up the best from the party animal

i could leave you, say goodbye or i could love you, if i try and i could and left to my own devices, i probably would

pick up a brochure about the sun learn to ignore what the photographer saw i was always told that you should join a club stick with the gang, if you want to belong

i was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy in a world of my own at the back of the garden i didn’t want to compete, or play out on the street for in a secret life i was a round head general

i could leave you, say goodbye or i could love you, if i try and i could and left to my own devices, i probably would left to my own devices, i probably would oh, i would

i was faced with a choice at a difficult age would i write a book? or should i take to the stage? but in the back of my head i heard distant feet che guevara and de’bussy to a disco beat

it’s not a crime when you look the way you do the way i like to picture you when i get home, it’s late at night i pour a drink and watch the fight

turn off the tv, look at a book pick up the phone, fix some food maybe i’ll sit up all night and day waiting for the minute i hear you say

i could leave you, say goodbye or i could love you, if i try and i could and left to my own devices, i probably would come on, baby, say goodbye or i could love you, if i try and i could and left to my own devices, i probably would left to my own devices, i probably would (come on baby) left to my own devices, i probably would
